Kendall mine first gold mill, Kendall, Montana. The Kendall Mining District, located in the North Moccasin Mountain Range, produced 450,000 ounces of gold from 1900 through 1942 from ores averaging 0.25 ounce gold per ton. Harry T. Kendall, a prospector and visionary, bought a couple of claims in the North Moccasin Mountains in 1898. In 1900, a new corporation, the Kendall Gold Mining Company, was formed by Kendall and four other trustees with a capital stock of $2,500,000. In 1900, the first cyanide gold mill was built in Kendall by the Kendall Gold Mining Company. "This mill was torn down in early October 1901 and a new 500 ton daily capacity electrically operated mill was started on the same site. This new mill was completed in the later part of April, 21902 and started operating on May 1st, 1902. This view is taken from the lower end of the ""Open Cut" in the huge gold ore body and shows one of the ore cars which was pushed by man power over the railway to the ore bin in the mill. The man standing near the ladder is Harry Kendall. The little girl in the white dress is Kendall's oldest child, Frances. The boy standing at the girl's right is Kendall's only son then 5 years old, Charles Kendall." (Glen Morton)
